Application of ab initio calculations to collagen and brome mosaic virus
(2014-07-17)In bio-related research, large proteins are of important interest. We study two such proteins. Collagen contains one such protein, the collagen triple-helix, which forms part of the structural matrix for animals, such as ... -
Electronic structure and partial charge distribution of doxorubicin under different molecular environments
(2014)Doxorubicin (trade name Adriamycin, abbreviated DOX) is a well-known anthracyclic chemotherapeutic used in treating a variety of cancers including acute leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and a range of stomach, lung, ... -
Introduction of a Fully Relativistic Capable Basis Set in the ab initio Orthogonalized Linear Combination of Atomic Orbitals Method
(2014-09-30)Large simulation cell sizes, relativistic effects, and the need to correctly model excited state properties are major impediments to the accurate prediction of the optical properties of candidate materials for solid-state ... -
Photosensitivity and Magnetosensitivity of The Drosophila Circadian Clock
(2014)The experiments in this thesis addressed whether magnetic fields can enhance entrainment (phase determination) of the circadian clock by light. The experiments were conducted using a species of small fruit flies, Drosophila ... -
The yield strength of molybdenum under pressure and temperature
(2015-06-02)Knowledge of the elastic properties of materials under high pressures and temperatures is important in planetary science as well as giving a more comprehensive understanding of material properties in general. Molybdenum ...
